The added benefits of automatic photo corrections will also have limited mileage based on your own personal tastes. There are better options out there for getting more consistent quality in your photos, with the FF-680W's speed sometimes at the sacrifice of consistency, with some photos having scanning artifacts like skipped lines.
Epson fast photo scanner software#
While the experience of bundled scanner software usually makes you want to tear your hair out, the Epson FastFoto and ScanSmart software is a joy to use, it looks good, is easy to follow, and has lots of clever tricks to enhance old or faded photos, although this is hit and miss. Also to expand its usefulness, the FF-680W can also scan documents up to A4 in size. With huge batches of printed photos taking just minutes to scan in high-quality 600 DPI, and more useful for today's instant photographers, the FF-680W can provide quick and detailed scans of Polaroid and Instax film (although somewhat temperamentally), giving you a new way to share high-quality versions of your instant photos. The compact Epson FastFoto FF-680W is a revelation in home photo scanning. This would make me wary about using this scanner for especially precious memories. However, one flaw in the design, is occasionally photos would get stuck in the scanner during batch scanning, this was easily rectified by taking the trapped photo out and restarting the scan, but a couple of the photos that did get stuck came away with slight indentations on the original print. The scanner scans and advances batches of photos automatically, which is incredible to see, and very fast. The black plastic is a fingerprint magnet though, which for a design that you will open and close frequently, is a bit of an issue. Made from the usual black plastic shell on this kind of device, it is exceptionally light for easily moving around, but feels rigid and well made, with the trays and extensions all feeling solid and secure. The Epson FF-680W is a very compact device, easily slotting into most desk setups, it won't take up too much room, and also isn't a bad-looking device to have on display.
